Brewing Up A Remedy For Broken Nails

November 10, 1996

Fixing a broken nail can be a breeze to do at home, says Kathy Drozd, head of nail services at the Paul Rehder Salon, in Chicago. All you need is nail glue, a buffer and a piece of fiber. A thin piece of fabric (silk or linen) will work and so will a coffee filter.

Patch the break with glue, affix the filter, add more glue, buff and polish.
